John Fones Eliminated in 17th Place ($33,842)
Level 32
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Ben Sarnoff opened to 600,000 in early position and Steven Himebaugh three-bet to 1,700,000 on his left. John Fones was on the button and asked if he could stand up before shoving all in for 1,825,000. Both Sarnoff and Himebaugh called to create action in a side pot.
The flop fell 
and Sarnoff check-called a bet of 1,400,000 from Himebaugh. The 
landed on the turn and both players checked to the 
on the river.
Sarnoff led out with a bet of 2,500,000 which put Himebaugh in the tank for over three minutes. He eventually laid his hand down, giving the side pot to Sarnoff.
Sarnoff flipped over 
for two pair while Fones could only muster 
for a pair of tens. Sarnoff also collected the main pot and Fones was sent to the rail.
